Shower Parties and E.T.

We just got back from our customary family vacation in the Missouri Ozarks…

The downside—a Copperhead Surprise in front of our cabin AND coming far too close to a Cottonmouth in the river. Nothing quite like watching a snake slither on water.

The upside—being somewhere so far away from city lights, at night you can see a trail of white haze across the sky and you’re actually gazing into the milky way galaxy (from our location at the edge). This year we were there during the Perseids meteor shower. Watching that many meteors burn across the sky got me wondering…

…if all these meteors are entering our atmosphere, how much ET is reaching earth and what’s in there?

According to Dr. Nelson at Tulane University,
an estimated 107 to 109 kg/year, mainly in the form of dust.

If this much ET mass is reaching earth, how much of it is carrying life’s building blocks or, more fascinating, some alternate building blocks of ET life?

We already know meteors have carried extra terrestrial amino acids to Earth. The 1969 Murchison meteorite that fell in Australia was carrying common and rare amino acids. I wonder what else has fallen on land or ocean--or what we are breathing in--that is even more mind-blowing than these amino acid building blocks of proteins.
